The film stars Academy Award nominee Mark Ruffalo, Taylor Kitsch, out actor Matt Bomer, Emmy winner and out actor Jim Parsons and Academy Award winner Julia Roberts. Directed by Emmy winner Ryan Murphy, the story follows several gay activists and their allies during the onset of the HIV-AIDS crisis in New York City in the early 1980s and their fight to expose the truth about the epidemic to a country who was still largely in denial.</p>
<p>Mark Ruffalo plays Ned Weeks, a gay activist who wants answers after he begins to see the crisis affect his community first-hand and falls in love with reporter Felix Turner, played by Matt Bomer. Jim Parsons plays gay activist Tommy Boatwright while Taylor Kitsch plays a closeted investment banker named Bruce Niles, who becomes an activist as well. Julia Roberts rounds out the cast as Dr. Emma Brookner, a survivor of polio who treats many of the earliest victims of the AIDS epidemic.</p>
<p>The original play <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/28/theater/reviews/the-normal-heart-on-broadway-theater-review.html?_r=0" target="_blank">opened Off-Broadway at The Public Theater in 1985</a> and was produced by Joseph Papp and directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg. More than two decades later, the play finally <a href="http://www.broadway.com/shows/normal-heart/" target="_blank">had a Broadway premiere in 2011</a>, with a cast that included Joe Mantello, Ellen Barkin, Jim Parsons (as the same character he plays in the film), Lee Pace and John Benjamin Hickey. The film won the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play, John Benjamin Hickey won the Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Play and Ellen Barkin won a Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Play.</p>
<p>The story of <em>The Normal Heart</em> is heavily based on playwright Kramer's own experiences as an LGBT activist and co-founder of AIDS advocacy group, <a href="http://www.actupny.org/" target="_blank">ACT UP</a>, which will be further explored in an upcoming HBO documentary. <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/27/opinion/sunday/bruni-the-angel-in-larry-kramer.html" target="_blank">Tentatively titled <em>Larry Kramer: In Love and Anger</em></a>, the film is currently set to be released sometime in 2015.</p>
<p>Make sure to watch <em>The Normal Heart</em> on HBO this Sunday, May 25<sup>th</sup> at 9PM/8C.

<p><strong>1)</strong> Fans of out Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar know to expect certain things with each new film he releases. Melodrama, great music, some violent touches, and taut scripting are present in most of the director’s previous films as well as <a href="http://www.sonyclassics.com/theskinilivein/" target="_blank"><em>The Skin I Live In</em></a>. It’s also one of the darkest and most intense he’s made in some time. Watch the trailer below.

</p><p><strong>2)</strong> Next Wednesday marks the opening of <a href="http://www.paulgoodmanfilm.com/" target="_blank"><em>Paul Goodman Changed My Life</em></a>. Through archival footage and interviews, director Jonathan Lee paints a portrait of poet, sociologist, advocate and thinker Paul Goodman who had a strong impact on the gay liberation movement in the 70s. Watch a trailer below and head to the <a href="http://www.paulgoodmanfilm.com/screenings" target="_blank">website</a> to find a screening near you.
</p><p><span class="file"><img class="file-icon" alt="" title="video/youtube" src="/modules/file/icons/video-x-generic.png" /> <a href="/" type="video/youtube; length=0">prHtmk7yfuc</a></span>
</p><p><img class="media-image" height="158" id="2" style="float: right; width: 124px; height: 158px; border-width: 3px; border-style: solid;" width="124" src="https://www.glaad.org/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/85043.jpg?itok=fDLOIGWe" alt="" /><strong>3)</strong> With the hotly anticipated biopic <em>J. Edgar</em> set to release this fall, actor <a href="http://twitter.com/#%21/leodicaprio" target="_blank">Leonardo DiCaprio</a> is already looking for his next project, and a film about famous code-breaker and computer scientist Alan Turing may be it. Warner Brothers <a href="http://www.deadline.com/2011/10/warner-bros-buys-spec-script-about-math-genius-biopic-because-leonardo-di-caprio-chasing-lead-role/#more-181822">reportedly spent seven figures</a> on a script for <em>The Imitation Game</em>, which chronicles the life of the mathematical genius who was eventually criminally prosecuted for being gay and died by suicide. Deadline’s Nikki Finke says it’s because Dicaprio “has the inside track.”</p>
<p><img class="media-image" height="137" id="2" style="border-width: 3px; border-style: solid; float: right; width: 124px; height: 137px;" width="124" src="https://www.glaad.org/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/Michael-Douglas_14.jpg?itok=p-Bs18kO" alt="" /><strong>4)</strong> In other gay biopic news, Michael Douglas and Matt Damon have been cast in a <a href="http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/10/11/michael-douglas-to-play-liberace-in-hbo-movie-2/" target="_blank">film about famously flamboyant pianist Liberace and his lover Scott Thorson</a>. The project will start shooting in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Palm Springs next summer and will air on HBO.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img class="media-image" height="174" id="2" style="float: right; border-width: 3px; border-style: solid; width: 124px; height: 174px;" width="124" src="https://www.glaad.org/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/64740323.jpg?itok=PYiyCSyj" alt="" /><strong>5)</strong> Exciting LGBT television news was released this week, starting with the exciting announcement that Lee Daniels was developing a Showtime drama set in the world of New York Ball culture (hyperlink to glaad post.) Now comes word that <a href="http://www.deadline.com/2011/10/hbo-turning-the-kids-are-all-right-into-series-pilot/" target="_blank">Lisa Cholodenko will help HBO turn <em>The Kids Are All Right</em> into an hour-long series</a> continuing the story of the film’s main characters. Cholodenko will reportedly write the pilot script and serve as executive producer. </p>
<p><img class="media-image" height="178" id="2" style="border-width: 3px; border-style: solid; float: right; width: 124px; height: 178px;" width="124" src="https://www.glaad.org/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/index.jpg?itok=HYKINogU" alt="" /><strong>6)</strong> Meanwhile, it’s also been announced that Glee creator <a href="http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/10/13/ryan-murphy-nbc-comedy-pilot/" target="_blank">Ryan Murphy and Allison Adler have made “the biggest comedy sale of the season” for a pitch about gay couple and the woman who agrees to become their surrogate and start a blended family with them</a>. Following a bidding war with ABC and Fox, NBC emerged the victorious buyer who will produce the pilot which is apparently based on Murphy and Adler’s real life experiences. Should these projects make it to series, it will mean an unprecedented amount of representation for LGBT families on television when coupled with the hit show <em>Modern Family</em>.</p>
<p><img class="media-image" height="56" id="2" style="border-width: 3px; border-style: solid; float: right; width: 199px; height: 56px;" width="199" src="https://www.glaad.org/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/logo_0.png?itok=SAHZjH73" alt="" /><strong>7)</strong> Casting has begun on Remake America, a new show about people struggling with major life issues related to the problems our nation currently faces, from the producers behind <em>The Biggest Loser</em>. In addition to looking for people dealing with things like being “pregnant and uninsured” and “working two jobs,” the show is also hoping to cast LGBT couples looking to start a family while coping with the hurdles in front of them, as well as any compelling story based on major life-changing decisions. Anyone interested should visit their site at <a href="http://www.remakeamericacasting.com/">www.remakeamericacasting.com</a>, which also includes instructions for applying.</p>
<p><strong>8)</strong> Actor <a href="http://twitter.com/#%21/charliedavid" target="_blank">Charlie David</a> (<em>Dante’s Cove</em>, <em>Mulligans</em>) is stepping into the director role for the documentary film, <a href="http://www.indiegogo.com/SCARLETourpositiveyouth" target="_blank"><em>Scarlet: Our Positive Youth</em></a>, which will tell the story of four young people across the country affected by HIV/AIDS. Having raised the money for production, Charlie and longtime collaboration Rowan Nielsen are now raising the much needed completion funds to turn the one hour TV doc into a feature-length film which will play at film festivals and be made available as an educational DVD for libraries, schools, universities and HIV/AIDS resource and support centers worldwide. Twenty-five percent of funds raised for the feature film will be donated to YouthCo – a youth driven HIV/AIDS support organization. Check out the trailer below, and visit the project’s IndieGogo page <a href="http://www.indiegogo.com/SCARLETourpositiveyouth" target="_blank">here</a>.

<p><strong>1) </strong>Monday marks the return of <a href="http://www.teennick.com/shows/degrassi/"><em>Degrassi</em></a> and its many LGBT characters. Fans of Adam, Fiona, Marco, Riley and Zane will be able to catch their favorite characters all summer long with four episodes each week. "Now or Never" will air at 9:00pm EST on Monday but until then, you can catch episodes from last year's season on TeenNick this weekend.</p>
<p><strong>2) </strong><a href="http://www.myspace.com/herculesandloveaffair" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.myspace.com/herculesandloveaffair">Hercules and Love Affair</a> were nominated for Outstanding Music Artist at the 20th Annual GLAAD Media Awards and just released its (or his; Andy Butler) second album in Europe. A double-disc version of it will be available in the U.S. and will include covers, as well as remixes, of previous tracks. The band also announced a late summer American tour. Take a look at the band's <a href="http://www.myspace.com/herculesandloveaffair">MySpace</a> page for dates. In anticipation of the album, check out their newly released "Painted Eyes" video.</p>

<p><strong><a href="http://glaadblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Kurt_Hummel_Glee_02.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-40256" title="Kurt_Hummel_Glee_0" src="http://glaadblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Kurt_Hummel_Glee_02.jpg" alt="" width="215" height="171" /></a>3) </strong>Ryan Murphy announced that Kurt, Finn and Rachel will be graduating and leave Glee at the end of next season. We have so many questions for the <a href="http://www.fox.com/glee/">Glee</a>'s creator: Will Blaine still be on the show? Are closeted Karofsky, bisexual cheerleader Brittany and Lebanese bad girl Santana still be around? What will happen to Kurt's dad? And what's in Kurt's future? Actor Chris Colfer speculated on that last question <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/awards/2011/07/emmys-chris-colfer-delighted-by-nomination-saddened-by-his-limited-time-on-glee-.html">in an interview</a> with <em>The Los Angeles Times</em>.<em> </em><em> </em></p>
<blockquote><p><em>I always imagined him running his own magazine. <em><strong>Kurtain</strong></em> magazine -- it would be like a <em><strong>Vogue</strong></em>-type publication. I don’t know. I love Kurt so so much. And I’m so proud of what he’s done this past season: He really went through a lot and experienced a lot. I’ve received thousands and thousands of letters from viewers who’ve just identified with him so much. It’s fantastic. I’ll miss that. But at least it’s planned, and I’m sure it will be a nice goodbye.</em></p></blockquote>

The festival was created as an initiative to reach the LGBT community with information about HIV/AIDS. Each year authors, spokespeople and thinkers get together and celebrate LGBT literature. The deadline to submit your story for next year's festival is December 1.</p>
<p><strong>5) </strong>The <a href="http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/one-man-army/">Discovery Channel</a> premiered a new military style competition show this week. On <a href="http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/one-man-army/"><em>One Man Army</em></a>, four contestants rely on strength and gun skills to complete several tasks. The cast includes a U.S. Military Marshall, a S.W.A.T. team member, a weapons instructor and an Army force para-rescue member. It is hosted by a U.S. Army Special Forces veteran. So where's the LGBT angle? Well the first episode's winner, Jeff Bloovman, comes out at the end of the episode when asked why he did not join the military. He answered that he couldn't lie. Take a look at the interview he did with <a href="http://www.afterelton.com/tv/2011/07/one-man-army-review">AfterElton</a> in which he explains his reasons for coming out.</p>

<div class="field field-name-field-blog-featured field-type-file field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>This morning in North Hollywood, actors <strong>Joel McHale</strong> and <strong>Sofia Vergara</strong> announced the nominees for the <strong>62nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards</strong>. This year's slate of nominees include a large number of openly LGBT actors, some of whom also play LGBT roles, as well as nominations for LGBT inclusive programs.</p>
<!--more--><div style="width: 302px;float:right;"><a href="http://glaadblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Picture-11.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-23088" title="Picture 1" src="http://glaadblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Picture-11.png" alt="" width="292" height="298" /></a>
<p>Out actors Chris Colfer and Jane Lynch received Emmy nominations for their supporting roles on Glee</p>
</div>
<p>The GLAAD Media Award-winning comedy series <strong><em>Glee</em></strong> was the most nominated program of the year with 19 nominations. This includes nods in the supporting categories for out actors <strong>Jane Lynch</strong>, who plays the nefarious cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester, and <strong>Chris Colfer</strong>, who plays openly gay glee club member Kurt Hummel. <strong>Mike O'Malley</strong>, who plays Kurt's loving father, was nominated for his guest role, as were openly gay directors <strong>Ryan Murphy</strong> and <strong>Paris Barclay</strong>. Murphy is also the creator of the series and scored an additional nod for writing the pilot. Lynch was also nominated for Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for her part in <em>Two and a Half Men</em>.</p>
<p>Colfer finds himself in arguably the most contentious category, at least in terms of LGBT actors: Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. Joining him are out actors <strong>Neil Patrick Harris</strong>, who plays womanizing Barney Stinson on <strong><em>How I Met Your Mother</em></strong>, and <strong>Jesse Tyler Ferguson</strong>, who plays gay family man Mitchell Pritchett on <strong><em>Modern Family</em></strong>. <strong>Eric Stonestreet</strong>, who plays Mitchell's partner, Cameron, was also nominated in the category. Harris also received a nomination for Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for playing Bryan Ryan on an episode of <em>Glee</em>.</p>
<p>Other out actors nominated for Emmys this year are: <strong>Alan Cumming</strong> in the Guest Actor in a Drama Series category for his role as Eli Gold in <em>The Good Wife,</em> <strong>Lily Tomlin</strong> in the Guest Actress in a Drama Series category for her role as Marilyn Tobin on <em>Damages</em> and <strong>Sir Ian McKellen</strong> in the Lead Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie category for his role as Two on <em>The Prisoner</em>. <strong>Will Arnett</strong>, who plays the openly gay character Devin Banks on <em>30 Rock</em>, was nominated for Guest Actor in a Comedy Series.</p>
<div style="width: 310px;float:left;"><a href="http://glaadblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/115_wanda_sykes-300x300.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-23090" title="09T115.2 color" src="http://glaadblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/115_wanda_sykes-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>
<p>Wanda Sykes' HBO special, Wanda Sykes: I'ma Be Me, received two Emmy nominations</p>
</div>
<p>“Today’s nominees reflect a diverse range of LGBT actors, characters and plot lines, all of which help Americans better understand and accept our community,” said <strong>GLAAD President Jarrett Barrios</strong>. “By nominating eight openly gay, lesbian or bisexual actors for television’s highest honor, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has sent a clear message that LGBT actors are limitless in the roles that they play and offer a rich variety of talent that deserves recognition.”</p>
<p><strong>Wanda Sykes</strong> is nominated for her HBO comedy special, <em><strong><em>Wanda Sykes: I’ma Be Me</em></strong></em>, which touched upon her experiences as a recently married lesbian woman raising a family. Sykes was honored with the Vanguard Award at the 21st Annual GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles.</p>
<p><em>Glee</em> and <em>Modern Family</em> are nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series alongside the LGBT inclusive programs <strong><em>Nurse Jackie</em></strong>, <strong><em>The Office</em></strong> and <strong><em>30 Rock</em></strong>, as well as <em>Curb Your Enthusiasm</em>. GLAAD Media Award nominees <strong><em>Mad Men</em> </strong>and <strong><em>True Blood</em></strong> are nominated for Outstanding Drama Series along with <em>Breaking Bad, Dexter</em>, <em>The Good Wife</em> and <em>Lost</em>.</p>
<p>Also of note, <strong><em>Believe: The Eddie Izzard Story</em></strong> was nominated for Outstanding Nonfiction Special and will go up against <strong><em>The Simpsons: 20th Anniversary Special - In 3D! On Ice!</em></strong>, which featured an appearance by GLAAD's Senior Director of Media Programs, <strong>Rashad Robinson</strong>.</p>
<p>The 62 Annual Primetime Emmy Awards air live Sunday, August 29, 2010 at 8PM EST/5PM PST on NBC. Visit the <a href="http://www.emmys.com/">official Emmy website</a> for a full list of nominees.</p>

<div style="width: 209px;float:right;"><a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3iec86729e87e7d194b2681ba2b0cfa4b6"><em><strong><strong><img class="size-medium wp-image-20709" title="vans.jpg" src="http://glaadblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/vans.jpg-199x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="300" /></strong></strong></em></a>

<p><a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3iec86729e87e7d194b2681ba2b0cfa4b6"><em><strong>The Hollywood Reporter</strong></em></a> ran an online exclusive commentary by Barrios and Black in which they said: "[GLAAD] has been advocating this equal treatment since our inception. Moreover, as we've have been watching Hollywood and Broadway in recent years, we have been encouraged by the progress that openly gay and lesbian actors have made -- progress that everyone but Setoodeh seems to appreciate...with the stakes so high for gay Americans at this moment, it is no excuse for his editors inflicting such hurtful—and baseless -- musings on the readers of <em>Newsweek</em>. We'd all have been better off leaving Setoodeh's tortured thoughts on his therapist's couch and leaving baseless stories like this one on the editor's desk."</p>
<p>As the May 10th issue of <em>Newsweek </em>first hit the stands, followed by <a href="http://www.broadwayworld.com/article/Kristin_Chenoweth_Newsweek_Article_Was_Horrendously_Homophobic_20100507"><strong>Kristen Chenoweth</strong></a>’s highly publicized takedown of the writer’s analysis and GLAAD’s subsequent conversation with <strong>Ryan Murphy</strong>, GLAAD issued a statement that supported the idea that LGBT actors can play a wide variety of roles. The statement sparked media coverage including the <em>New York Times</em>, <em>The Los Angeles Times</em>, <em>Associated Press</em>, <em>USA Today</em> and <a href="http://marquee.blogs.cnn.com/2010/05/13/glaad-we-must-move-beyond-stereotypes/"><em>CNN.com</em></a>. GLAAD President Jarrett Barrios also appeared on CNN to address the biased nature of the piece and wrote a guest blog on <a href="http://www.popeater.com/2010/05/14/ceasefire-newsweek-gay-actor-debacle/">AOL Popeater</a> that spoke to LGBT youth and let them know that they are equal with their straight counterparts, regardless of what profession they choose. GLAAD contacted Newsweek and asked that they apologize for the harmful assertions in the article and provide equal space for views counter to those Setoodeh expressed.</p>
<p>Although <em>Newsweek</em> has yet to apologize, Mark Peyser, the magazine's Culture Editor, in response to the media attention, did conduct a <a href="http://www.newsweek.com/id/237889">Q&amp;A with Barrios and Black</a> so they could elaborate on the issues many in the community had with Setoodeh's piece and to discuss the larger implications of the piece. In the Q&amp;A, Barrios says, “From the perspective of GLAAD, we want to see a world where there's full equality for all gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people. And to think that a child might conclude that they can't be out? When all around them there are gay people coming out and being successful? It's not tenable. It's not believable, what the author is saying. And it's also harmful. Because if they were to believe it, it could really affect the expectations of children and all of us who want to live in a world where we're fully equal.”</p>

<p>Ryan Murphy</p>
</div>
<p>Ryan Murphy, the openly gay creator of <em>Glee</em> who earlier this week sent a scathing letter posted on EW.com calling out the writer’s internalized homophobia and asking GLAAD to join him in calling out <em>Newsweek</em>, yesterday <a href="http://popwatch.ew.com/2010/05/13/ryan-murphy-second-open-letter/">released another statement</a> thanking Barrios and Black for joining him in taking action against the <em>Newsweek</em> article. He also said that he has spoken with Setoodeh and the writer has accepted his invitation to visit the Glee set to witness firsthand the creative process of a program that hires actors based solely on talent.</p>
<p>The community’s response to this piece has been overwhelming. Each of these voices - Murphy, Black and Chenoweth, entertainment reporters and the LGBT bloggers and journalists who have written about this story - represent the communities and allies that GLAAD is committed to serving.</p>
<p>GLAAD’s National News Team is requesting a follow-up meeting with Newsweek editorial staff to discuss their overall LGBT coverage and address Setoodeh’s problematic reporting.</p>

<div class="field field-name-field-blog-featured field-type-file field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>On April 26, 2010, <em><a href="http://www.newsweek.com/id/236999"><strong>Newsweek</strong></a> </em>printed an article entitled "Straight Jacket" in which contributor <strong>Ramin Setoodeh</strong> criticizes LGBT actors. <em>Glee</em> creator <strong><a href="http://popwatch.ew.com/2010/05/11/ryan-murphy-newsweek-boycott/">Ryan Murphy</a> </strong>and actors including <strong><a href="http://www.broadway.com/shows/promises-promises/buzz/152350/promises-star-kristin-chenoweth-speaks-out-on-horrendously-homophobic-newsweek-article-defends-sean-hayes/">Kristin Chenoweth</a></strong> and <a href="http://www.afterelton.com/blog/waymanwong/cheyenne-jackson-michael-urie-rip-ramin-setoodeh"><strong>Michael Urie</strong> </a>have spoken out against the article. Today <a href="http://www.glaad.org/Page.aspx?pid=1469">GLAAD</a> joins Murphy</p>
<!--more--><p> in urging <em>Newsweek</em> to issue an apology.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.glaad.org/Page.aspx?pid=1469">The following is a statement from GLAAD President Jarrett Barrios</a>:<br />
“Whether he intended it to or not, Ramin Setoodeh’s article in <em>Newsweek</em> sends a false and damaging message about gay actors by endorsing the idea that there are limits to the roles they are able to play.</p>
<div style="width: 274px;float:left;"><a href="http://glaadblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/neil_patrick_harris.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-5088" title="neil_patrick_harris" src="http://glaadblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/neil_patrick_harris-264x300.jpg" alt="" width="264" height="300" /></a>
<p>Setoodeh says out actors like Neil Patrick Harris cannot realistically play heterosexual roles.</p>
</div>
<p>If Setoodeh wanted to start a discussion about the work of gay performers, he undermined his own premise by affirming stereotype after stereotype, such as gay actors being ‘insincere’ or unbelievable when playing romantic leads, and dismissing or disregarding the work of actors like Neil Patrick Harris, Cheyenne Jackson, Cherry Jones, Wanda Sykes, Jonathan Groff and Alan Cumming, among others.</p>
<p><a href="http://glaadblog.org/2009/10/08/the-stars-come-out-for-glaad-sags-out-in-hollywood-panel/">Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender actors can play a wide variety of diverse roles </a>and Setoodeh’s perspective on this issue reflects his own discomfort that he attempts to project onto the audience by indicting Sean Hayes instead of examining his own inability to embrace gay actors in straight roles.</p>
<p>Since the article’s publication, Setoodeh has attempted to reframe his opinion piece as an analysis of the lack of gay men in leading roles, however, he continues to posit that gay male actors are not believable. In his May 11th interview with Joy Behar, Setoodeh claims about Neil Patrick Harris’ television role: ‘He’s not really a romantic lead where women are actually supposed to believe him as a heterosexual character.’</p>
<p>Whatever Setoodeh’s intentions or beliefs, <em>Newsweek</em> is ultimately responsible for having published this deeply problematic essay and consciously or not, promoting and encouraging Setoodeh’s discomfort.</p>
<p>GLAAD has been in dialogue with <em>Newsweek </em>to provide space for views on the subject that expand their readers’ understanding of this issue past the harmful attitudes of writers like Setoodeh, whose perspective is used to pressure gay actors to stay closeted.</p>
<p>GLAAD also joins <em>Glee </em>creator Ryan Murphy in urging <em>Newsweek</em> to issue an apology.</p>
